{"product_id":"report-from-calabria-a-priest-9781621641308","title":"Report from Calabria: A Season with the Carthusian Monks","description":"\u003cp\u003eDevoted to silence, prayer, and austere simplicity, the Carthusian monks guard their solitude jealously and rarely allow visitors to live with them. The author of this book, however, was privileged to spend four months with the Carthusian community in Calabria, Italy, the resting place of the founder of their order, Saint Bruno. The American priest followed the daily regimen of the monks and wrote to family and friends in order to share his experiences and insights. His engaging and informative letters are presented in this book along with professional four-color photographs provided by the monastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReport from Calabria\u003c\/i\u003e describes and illustrates the distinctive features of the Carthusian way of life as they were encountered by the author. Historical background and excerpts from the writings of Saint Bruno round out the priest's experiences. The contemplative vocation--bracing and yet deeply human--comes alive in this vivid account of very little happening yet a lot going on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e A.
